From the Bill of Rights Defense Committee: Not without a warrant!

To those on the email lists.

 

I sign lots of stuff that I never acknowledge just because that would be all I would be doing.  And I don't send half the begging emails I receive for worthy causes around the globe.  But this one strikes at the very heart of our freedom of speech and our right to privacy. 

The Ruling Class waits and even works toward the opportunity to shut down the free thinkers.  If a law is unclear or if no law exists, they move in. 

So, in case one of their robo puppets is reading my boring email, here's a royal red middle finger salute to you!

Dear supporter,

Did you know that federal law says the government can read your email and
track your movements without getting a warrant from a judge?

That's what a 1986 law, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, says.
Don't you think it's time for a privacy upgrade?

The Bill of Rights Defense Committee is joining the Digital Due Process
coalition and groups across the political spectrum in calling for Congress
to restore online privacy rights.

Our position is simple and logical:  if the government wants to enter your
house or seize your papers, the Constitution says it needs to get a warrant
from a judge.  That same rule should apply to all the email and private
photos and documents you store online.  And before the government turns your
mobile phone into a tracking device, it should go to a judge and get a
warrant.  That's our best protection against government intrusions and our
best way to ensure privacy--and democracy--survive the 21st century.

Sign the "Not Without A Warrant" petition.

And please pass on the message.  Tell Congress to bring the Constitution's
Fourth Amendment into the digital age.
